The easiest approach is the import-export NG addon. highlight the highest level (e.g, Local Folders), rightclick and select one of the export options.

What is this NG addon? where I can find it?

click the addons menu at tools>addons and search for import . That should identify the addon. If 'tools' is not visible click the alt key to see menu bar.

Where are the tools. What should I open for this. It is not at Thunderbird.

If the menu bar is not visible, click the alt key to display it. Then, you should see a row of options, such as "File, Edit, View... " and one of them is 'Tools' . And on that menu is 'addons'
